2007's been memorable, but I'll leave it be for another day. Resolutions, oh resolutions. A certain something that always cease to be after their short-lived existence in our human brains.. But it doesn't hurt to hurl a ticket into the lottery pick in the new year.
It's weird to be back here after a short hiatus, but when inspirations calls, it's a command. And for some reason, I think this fits my public blog more than my private one. Some voice's just telling me that, I don't know. Yet it seems real enough for me to pay attention to. Strange.
I'll prioritize my resolutions this time. :D
#1. Spiritual Life, Church, Cell Group.
I know I've never been much of a 'holy' guy around here. But God's truly the one and only thing that's been real in my life. Through the good times and the bad times, He's always the comfort and the peace. Crying into his arms is always so.. breaking, that sometimes, the atmosphere itself is torn apart, revealing His helm of glory. Putting God first ranks top on my priority. To be honest, that's as easy as it gets, but being the selfish human we are, our own well-beings are always placed above our Father in heaven. People say, if you put God first, His blessings will flow like a river into every area of our life. I've never really felt his blessings in bulk, and it doesn't hurt to experience it this year. I'm hearing a voice that says if I keep true to this resolution, I'll be a great testimonial at the end of the year, to not others, but myself as well. Reading the bible, praying, and quiet time.. That is what I seek this year. Hopefully, I'll be in a ministry in church some time soon, and be serving even more than what I used to serve in cell group.
#2. Mindset, Emotional Well-Beings.
Why is it always that we never rid ourselves of the one thing that needs to be gotten rid of the most? The few close people I have had always been raking this up: Pessimism. I really need to discover a need to be optimistic about life. After all, 17 years old looks to be over once and for all this year, and dreaded 18 years old (or the I-think-I-feel-extremely-old-age) is soon and coming. Optimism ranks second on my new year resolutions, and I aim to be a better person this year. Be positive about life, and live out my teenage years to its fullest, even though what's left of it now looks demoralizing little. On the same note, I'm going to be a happier person, where depression seemed to accompany me for the most part of 2007, joy's gonna be my best bet in keeping me alive in 2008.
#3. Goals & Targets.
What some people have been telling me is that I have this ability to script out my innermost feelings, but I feel that this isn't so. However, if it really is a God-given talent, instead of secluding myself from it, I'm embracing it this year. I'm going to refresh and re-light my passion for reading, and a highly unattainable goal is to spin up an entire novel by the year end, but what's probable would be building up the spine of a successful storyline. Music-wise, I must admit I'm not very talented in it, but I'm going to work on my guitar to lift it up a notch higher. Most of all, I hope to be writing a few songs of my own. Which in this case, I feel that much work's to be done. Most of all, I aim to do well in my 'A' Levels, and through years of unfulfilled potential (or so Mom says), I'm gonna throw in everything on the line to attain a scholarship, or at least know that I've done my best.
#4. Family & Friends.
I'd like to keep this area a little private, since not too many people knows about this area of my life. Maybe just one, or two. But I'll just skim the surface a little; be a better son, and a better friend. A better son in living up to expectations, and responsibilities, and a better friend in just being.. a spark in somebody else's life.
#5. Physical fitness.
The last and final section, and also something which does not bother me much. However, in the name of self-image and vanity, I aim to bulk up a little more. No idea how, since my constant body mass remains a scientific mystery. While I almost never disappoint myself in terms of fitness, I aim to bring my body over the limit this year, just to see how far I can take myself to.
Resolutions are meant to be little, and kept simple. Although there are little things like drawing, dancing, and even taking up a part-time job while schooling, focus brings strength. There are just so many things I need to change over the course of the new year, but to sum things up, I just want to someone different than what I used to be.
Therefore, the finale resolution:
Be inspirationally changed, and hopefully, become a better man.
(Maybe I'll secure the Most Changed Award during Thanksgiving for the third year running, who knows?)
Oh yes, and of course, remembering the most important thing of all.
Learn to love better, because love's what keeps us living to this very day.
Painting an Inspiration of Love.
